Sophie Wright

Ski Instructor, Verbier

My Story

I grew up in Surrey, England and regularly went on family ski trips growing up. I was put on my first pair of skis at the age of 2 in Courchevel, France and have been hooked on skiing ever since! I successfully completed my Level 1 and 2 BASI instructor course in Verbier last season (18/19). I learnt so much from the training and then went on to teach for the rest of the season with New Generation. Last summer I worked as a Team Leader for a summer Camp at Pre-Fleuri, in Villars, Switzerland. I worked for five weeks taking care of children aged from 3 to 14 years old. My role was to organise all kinds of activities and making each day fun, keeping the kids safe and happy. I have also worked at Feltonfleet, a leading prep school in Cobham Surrey. My job involved coaching and mentoring kids on the sports field, in the swimming pool and taking them to fixtures. I really enjoy working with children of all ages!

Top Tip

Be confident in yourself. Realise that sometimes you need to get something wrong, to figure out what’s right.
